How to return the name of the calling script from a Powershell Module?
Use PSCommandPath instead in your module:
Example test.psm1
function Get-Info{
$MyInvocation.PSCommandPath
}
Example myTest.ps1
Import-Module C:\Users\moomin\Documents\test.psm1 -force
Get-Info
Output:
C:\Users\moomin\Documents\myTest.ps1
If you want only the name of the script that could be managed by doing
GCI $MyInvocation.PSCommandPath | Select -Expand Name
That would output:
myTest.ps1
I believe you could use the Get-PSCallStack cmdlet, which returns an array of stack frame objects. You can use this to identify the calling script down to the line of code.
Module: test.psm1
Function Get-Info {
$callstack = Get-PSCallStack
$callstack[1].Location
}
Output:
myTest.ps1: Line 2
